Hi Everyone.
I haven't had bees for a couple years and am planning to use VOA and MAQs for treatment. The question I have is with the VOA treatments. I have 2 new packages installed in hives and thought I would do a VOA treatment before they have any capped brood. I haven't read anything about time of day to treat, only that it needs to be over 40 degrees at the time of treatment. Does anyone do the treatments at night, to have all the bees in the hive at the time of treatment?
Thanks for any advice.
Bob
